About this listen

TROY

Sometimes I want to punch that smirk off Atlas McCallister's pretty face.

He's cocky. A troublemaker. A pain.

And, unfortunately, my stepbrother.

We've been fire and kerosene since our parents got together, and to keep from exploding into fistfights, we've used challenges, dares, and bets to battle out our differences.

Our past bets have been a little inappropriate—scandalous, even—but Atlas's latest bet has gone too far.

Do I really believe if he loses, my straight stepbrother is gonna mess around with a guy? And not just any guy: me, his rival and nemesis?

Not a chance.

But if he's so confident he's gonna win...well, my big stepbro must not know me as well as he thinks...

ATLAS

I love getting under Troy's skin.

Mr. Former Prom King. Mr. Heartthrob. Mr. Infuriatingly Perfect. Messing with him is too easy. Too fun. Maybe that's why I'm a little obsessed with him.

Our latest bet is the perfect way for me to test the bisexual waters, and once I dive headfirst into the deep end, I don't want to stop.

With Troy. My stepbro.

It was supposed to be just a little fun, yet with each touch, I like him more than I should. It wasn't supposed to go this far. Now I want Troy to be all mine.

But what we're doing has bigger consequences than our little step bet, and when the stakes are this high, is it worth gambling our hearts when we know this is a game we both could lose?

This is the first book in the Peach State Stepbros Series. It can be listened to as a standalone.

Trigger Warning: The Step Bet is a steamy romance, but one of the secondary characters struggles with addiction. This may act as a trigger for some listeners.

Feels like the start of something good

Two favourite authors getting together to pull off another hot book, with the promise of more to come in this new series. Love sometimes blossoms in the most unexpected and surprising places. Step brothers to lovers with complex back stories.

AMAZING ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

"The Step Bet" by Riley Hart and Devon McCormack is a 5 star audio for me. I was not expecting anything less from Riley, so I've started this with a lot of confidence, and it did not disappoint. Compelling and emotionally charged from the start, "The Step Bet" is the story of Atlas and Troy, their family dynamics and forbidden love. Set against the backdrop of two stepbrothers navigating their evolving relationship, this story captivated me from the very first page. The chemistry between Atlas and Troy is palpable from the beginning even through they knew each other years before their first "forbidden interaction", their chemistry is electric as they navigate the connection. From stolen glances to hot hot moments of intimacy, every interaction between them is imbued with raw emotion and undeniable passion. THANK YOU RILEY & DEVON for a great story!!!

Amazing chemistry between the 2 MMC’s 😏🥵🔥

I absolutely adore both Troy and Atlas 🥺 they’ve both been through SO much in their short lives and yes Atlas did start off sounding/ acting like a total ass even though I thought he was hilarious but also confident! However, once you get to know him more and the reason for his actions, it made me love him even more and relate to him so much as I also have trust issues.

Their story is just beautiful and I love their banter, always winding each other up and egging each other on in their dares which just makes their relationship even stronger because they are on the same wavelength 🥰

Glen ofc is a complete narcissistic scumbag and the boys deserved so much better than having him as part of their family. Anyone who can treat their child like that and think it’s ok it’s disgusting and doesn’t deserve to be in their lives.

I’m just so glad the boys got their HFN/ HEA but I really hope things work out with a certain family member in the future 🥺

The only thing I’m so sad about is that I didn’t look into this series first before reading 😭 and now I’ve just realised the second book isn’t out until sept so I’m guessing the audiobook will be an even longer wait and I’m so gutted 😩 I thought it had been out for a while and I could listen to all 3 in one go!

Can’t wait for the next ones though!

Needed 2 Narrators

I felt like I needed a different voice for each of the guys. With just the one narrator it could be hard to differentiate between Troy & Atlas.

Cute

I had a fun time reading this, it was lighthearted, witty, the main characters Troy & Atlas have good chemistry, they are both stubborn with strong personalities and some baggage on board. I really enjoyed the connection these two had from the get go but especially how their relationship developed over the course of the story, it has some slight angst to it and I appreciated the emotional arcs these two went on.

However it doesn't break the mould or do anything groundbreaking nothing new was added, it was a very stereotypical stepbrother romance in that sense so if that is what you're looking for this will deliver it. The spice was good especially that very first scene with them together, I really liked Atlas's cocky/arrogant yet blasé attitude towards it in the moment it made me chuckle. Overall this was a quick, easy, low angst and fun read. 🌶🌶

Pretty Bland.

I found the story pretty bland.
The narration was alright, a little tricky to tell the difference between the two MC.

Meh

Not one of the best ones of this genre. Pretty surface level and very predictable
